We have to be on our toes all throughout and have to focus on the task at hand.

It was their first match ever in a FIFA World Cup and emotions can be a little hard to control when you play in front of fifty thousand people for the very first time," the Portuguese said.  Meanwhile, the players are all geared up for the next challenge.
